"Any Bill That's Regressive...": Karnataka Minister On Reviewing Old Laws
NDTV
In recent elections, the Congress scored a big victory in Karnataka, defeating the BJP by a comfortable margin.
The new Congress government intends to review policies of the previous BJP government and "set it right", Karnataka Minister Priyank Kharge said today, doubling down on comments that signal a reversal of decisions on the Muslim quota, the Hijab ban and the anti-conversion law.
"I have said this without any ambiguity. Any bill, executive order, or government order or any other bills that are regressive to the economic policies of Karnataka, that does not create employment, that creates disharmony in the state will be reviewed or rejected, if necessary," Mr Kharge told NDTV.
In recent elections, the Congress scored a big victory in Karnataka, defeating the BJP by a comfortable margin. Last week, Siddaramaiah took charge as Chief Minister with DK Shivakumar as his deputy.
Asked to reveal legislation likely to be reviewed by the Siddaramaiah-led Congress government, Mr Kharge named the anti-conversion and the anti-cow slaughter bills.
